You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Using points (-1, 2)
perpendicular to (0, 3) and (-24, 0)
...
slope of the originating line = %283-0%29%2F%280--24%29+=+3%2F24+=+1%2F8
...
Perpendicular lines have negative inverse slope, so the slope will be -8
Using this slope and the (-1, 2)
2 = -8(-1) + b
b = 2 - 8 = -6
...
highlight%28y=-8x-6%29
highlight_green%28y+=+%281%2F8%29x%2B3%29
...
